NGLayout - Gecko's future (beta, release, and beyond) with Rick Gessner I've been building layout engines since 1988, and many of us have built style based editing/publishing tools since the early 1990s. Also the old layout engine was implemented 3 times (different per platform). The answer, is that being a layout team who has editor experience, we knew that an editor would be built upon gecko and designed it that way. www.mozillazine.org /chat/logs/1999-10-22-NGLAYOUT.html   (2395 words)

Tasman (layout engine) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Tasman is the name of the layout engine introduced with version 5 of Internet Explorer for Mac. Tasman was an attempt to improve support for web standards, as defined by the World Wide Web Consortium. Tasman later became used as the layout engine for the Windows version of MSN, while Internet Explorer continued using Trident. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Tasman_(layout_engine)   (409 words)

Gecko (layout Engine) Encyclopedia Article @ 209.68.55.254 ()   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-11) It was slow, did not comply well with W3C standards, had limited support for dynamic HTML and lacked features such as incremental reflow (when the layout engine rearranges elements on the screen as new data is downloaded and added to the page). The new layout engine was developed in parallel with the old, with the intention being to integrate it into Netscape Communicator when it was mature and stable. After the launch of the Mozilla project in early 1998, the new layout engine code was released under an open-source license. 209.68.55.254 /encyclopedia/Gecko_(layout_engine)   (814 words)

Layout engine | Topic Definition | Find the Meaning and Define the Answer of Layout engine A web browser's layout engine takes content (HTML, XML, images, etc.) and formatting information (CSS, etc.) and computes a visual representation of the web page, usually for output on either a monitor or a printer. However, the term "layout engine" only reached popular usage when the Mozilla project designed its web browser's layout engine (Gecko) as a component that was separable from the browser. In other words, the Mozilla layout engine was reusable for web browsers besides Mozilla, and so people began to refer to Gecko as a distinct "layout engine" rather than merely a part of the web browser. www.thefreeencyclopedia.com /definition/word.aspx?w=Layout_engine   (161 words)

Trident (layout engine) - Unipedia   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-11) Trident is the name of the layout engine for the Microsoft Windows version of Internet Explorer.

Gecko Page - fat-tailed-gecko-pictures The existing Netscape rendering engine, originally written for Netscape Navigator 1.0 and gecko books upgraded through the years, was widely considered to be inferior to the one used in Microsoft Internet Explorer. It was slow, did not comply well with W3C standards, had limited support for dynamic HTML and lacked features such as incremental reflow (when the layout engine rearranges elements on the screen as new data how do you make a dead gecko back to life is downloaded and added to gecko trap the page). For a time, Gecko was used to refer to both the old NGLayout layout engine and XPFE (cross-platform front-end) gecko tattoo galleries — the new XML-based Mozilla user interface, rendered by NGLayout — but it is now used solely to refer to the layout engine. www.infotechloco.com /Gecko.htm   (1079 words)

Definition of Gecko layout engine Development of the layout engine now known as Gecko began at Netscape in 1997, following the company's purchase of DigitalStyle. In October 1998, Netscape announced that its next browser would use Gecko (then still called NGLayout) rather than the old layout engine, requiring large parts of the application to be rewritten. While this decision was popular with web standards advocates, it was largely unpopular with Netscape developers, who were unhappy with the six month timeframe given for the rewrite. www.wordiq.com /definition/Gecko_layout_engine   (939 words)

10 must haves in IE Next | 456 Berea Street Replacing the layout engine would remove most of the many, many CSS bugs that still plague IE, so I’m not going to mention any of those specifically. If Microsoft were to replace the rendering engine outright they'd break all their own stuff, not only their own site, but all webapplications that were written especially for IE's weird rendering engine. The calls to replace the rendering engine remind of a recent Boagworld podcast where Paul Boag complained that clients should not be asking for a spinning logo, but specify their business requirements for the design and let the design team work out how to meet them. www.456bereastreet.com /archive/200612/10_must_haves_in_ie_next   (6157 words)

Fraser Le Mans GT Prototype K9 (1, 1967)   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-11) Given the weight difference between the 1006cc Nathan (750lb dry) and K9 (1145lb dry) K9 would have had to have at least a 1500cc engine to be competitive, and would therefore have been in the 1301-1600cc prototype class competing with the Renault Alpine or in the 1601-2000cc class which the Porsche 907 dominated. The takeover of the Rootes Group by Chrysler however prevented the proposed V8 engine from being built (although the whereabouts of one independently built are known). Robin Human had acquired the remains of the oil pump drive gears from an engine of this type and has now passed them on to me. It is thought that the convertible Asp (known as CUB) would also have had this engine arrangement since it was designed for low-maintenance road use. tardis.dl.ac.uk /Mercia/killeen_book/node16.html   (2354 words)

Introduction : DougWeb Originally the source code to the never-released Netscape 5, it was completely rewritten in the hands of the Mozilla Foundation to become arguably the most standard-compliant engine currently available. Even though the layout of the sidebar and main content area are spot-on perfect, the footer isn't visible anywhere - not even at the bottom of the page as would be expected from. Not to be confused with the modern 'Mozilla' browser, Mozilla was the 'traditional' Netscape engine, used before the creation of the much superior Gecko. www.dougweb.org /browsers.html   (1138 words)

Internet Explorer article - Internet Explorer browser Microsoft Windows OS operating systems Window System - ...   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-11) In June 2003, Microsoft announced that it was ceasing further development of the Apple Macintosh version of MSIE (which uses a layout engine codenamed Tasman, as opposed to Windows MSIE which uses a different layout engine codenamed Trident), since Apple has developed its own browser, Safari. Thus, IE and Windows will be kept more in sync: it will be less likely that people will use a relatively old version of IE on a newer version of Windows, and newer versions of IE will not be usable without an OS upgrade. Other applications, such as Winamp and RealPlayer, use the MSIE rendering engine to provide a limited-functionality "mini" browser within their own user interfaces. www.what-means.com /encyclopedia/Internet_Explorer   (1885 words)

BlueShoes: Web Browser List It was developed independently from the Windows version, so their rendering engines don't work the same.

How to Design for Different Browsers - WebReference.com- A rendering engine, also known as a layout engine, is the code that tells the browser how to display web content and available style information in the browser window. The first separate and reusable rendering engine was Gecko, released by the Mozilla developers in 1998. While designers generally don't worry about matching layouts exactly in Netscape 4, it is critical that no content gets lost and that advanced CSS or scripting techniques don't crash the browser. www.webreference.com /programming/wdn/2.html   (1155 words)

Microsoft Design Team Strives to Make IE 5 Macintosh Edition the Fastest, Simplest and Most Reliable Mac Browser: ... It featured a new rendering engine that provided the industry's best support for Web standards, a redesigned interface that -- with its corrugated, semitranslucent background and designer colors -- was an unabashed tribute to the iMac, and a host of other new features. The revamped rendering engine can take virtually any of the billions of Web pages on the Internet and display them exactly as their designers intended -- regardless of whether those designers adhered to formal Web standards or built their Web pages using the multiple variations endemic to the Web. The result is a smaller, faster engine that meets new requirements for compatibility while achieving unprecedented levels of performance, Celik says. www.microsoft.com /presspass/features/2000/01-05macie5.mspx   (1298 words)

Hydrogenaudio Forums > Firefox 1.5 Also, the fact that Firefox isn't really integrated with windows (as IE is) might reduce the risk of the entire system being compromised if a new critical exploit is found. The first versions of IE (up to version 3 I think) were based on the Mosaic engine, which was acquired from SpyGlass, which was acquired from NCSA. In the Mac version of IE, the layout engine was called Tasman, IIRC. www.hydrogenaudio.org /forums/lofiversion/index.php/t32107-50.html   (1636 words)

Firefox explorers - Next   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-11) Chris Hofman, Mozilla Foundation director of engineering, says the short-term goal is to give "the absolute best consumer experience with the Firefox web browser and the Thunderbird email client". It is best suited to software engineering but can be fitted to other tasks, such as automated software testing and customer support centres. The full set of systems is equivalent to the engineering infrastructure of big software vendors such as Microsoft, IBM or Oracle but with one key difference: anyone can assess the quality of goods produced. www.theage.com.au /technology/ - !http://www.theage.com.au/articles/2005/03/21/1111253920087.html   (2673 words)

Netscape Standards Challenge at Netscape.com Unfortunately, testing using published, open source test suites shows that Microsoft has failed to provide in any of its browsers the support for the W3C DOM level 1 that developers are demanding--even with the Tasman layout engine that is part of IE5 for the Macintosh. Search engines will find more relevant information more quickly, software agents will be able to search the web independently, and web sites will be able to present a catalog of their contents at a glance. In contrast, independent analysts agree that the Gecko layout engine in Mozilla and Netscape 6 is delivering the best CSS support ever achieved by any browser. wp.netscape.com /browsers/future/standards.html   (2799 words)
